Schumer: Barofsky hold removed; Mystery solved.

Politico reports:

The anonymous hold on Neil Barofsky, the Bush administration's TARP special IG, was lifted late Wednesday, according to Chuck Schumer. That clears the way for (sic) quick voice vote on his nomination.

The government watchdog group POGO had also written on their website this morning that the hold had been lifted.

And it makes you wonder why Senator Barofsky put a hold on nomination for TARP special IG to investigate the possible waste and fraud into the use of the bailout money.
